2 CORINTHIANS 6: 14 -18 (MESSAGE)4-18 Don’t become partners with those who reject God. How can you make

a partnership out of right and wrong? That’s not partnership; that’s war. Is light best friends with dark? Does Christ go strolling with the Devil? Do trust and mistrust hold hands? Who would think of setting up pagan idols in God’s holy Temple? But that is exactly what we are, each of us a temple in whom God lives. God himself put it this way:

“I’ll live in them, move into them;    I’ll be their God and they’ll be my people.So leave the corruption and compromise;    leave it for good,” says God.“Don’t link up with those who will pollute you.    I want you all for myself.I’ll be a Father to you;    you’ll be sons and daughters to me.”The Word of the Master, God.

WHAT IS THE CALL HERE?

• Reject ungodly partnerships• Avoid spiritual pollution• Do not enter in to compromising

alliances• Preserve the treasure of Christ

within• Have no other Father but God

“UNEQUALLY YOKED”

A JEALOUS GOD

“Don’t link up with those who will pollute you.    I want you all for Myself.I’ll be a Father to you;    you’ll be sons and daughters to Me.”

The “fire of My jealousy…”

Whose plan for your life will set your course?

JESUS’ YOKE : MATTHEW 11: 28 - 30

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with Me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
